Interesting, perhaps unusual, but I swept the floors at a food co-op while preparing for an elite graduate program. I was in my early thirties--already old to some. A child came up to me and said "you must be a genius to do that job." I'm afraid his parents were watching on with what appeared to be amused pride while their little lion cub tried to humiliate a person. This reminds of those old fashioned Mensa syllogisms, often incomplete, that go something like "Some broom pushers are stupid. Johnny pushes a broom. Johnny is over thirty years old. Treat only but all stupid people like crap. Question 22. True or False Should you treat Johnny like crap?" I beat out nearly 1600 other applicants to that program and became the top student in my cohort. I don't think this means I'm a genius, but I doubt my IQ is as low as the child and his parents may have assumed. And if it were, how would such bigotry be justified?
People will profile and make negative assumptions about others based on appearances, geographical prejudices, and other superficialities. Whoever you are and whatever you represent - somebody isn’t going to like it. One must merely soldier on. By the way, congratulations on being super smart and accomplished.

If you took the SAT or GRE test in 1994 or earlier, potentially you could use the scores to qualify. Or the military general aptitude test in 1980 or earlier. This points to one of the problems with Mensa. The membership of the organization is very old, and one of the reasons why is because the organization makes it too difficult for qualified people to join. Someone who took the SAT in 1994 is at least 45 years old today. Someone who took the GRE in 1994 probably is at least 49 years old today. Someone who took the military test battery in 1980 is at least 59 years old at this exact moment (06-23). The reason why Mensa will not take newer versions of common tests has to do with the organization's fantasies of exclusivity. They needn't worry. Someone who fakes their way in will soon drop out of their own accord. I took the GRE general test five times between 1974 and 1992 and again in 2019. The 2019 version of the test was no different than the earlier version which Mensa does accept. Gen Xers and Millennials might join. Very few of them are going to go out of their way to take an IQ that they might or might not be up for. I used the oldest GRE score to qualify for Mensa. I still have every mailed score report. All of them qualified for Mensa, even the one I bombed by own estimation. The one I took in 2019 would have qualified me too, if Mensa would have accepted it. So would my SAT score from the 1960s, if I still had the score report. I don't.
I figured I would take the test and join, but it honestly doesn’t seem like much fun. Almost all of the people in the video are on the older side, and it doesn’t seem like I would fit in... Time to find another “exclusive” club to join.

Okay, so in 1967 I scored a 164, was much a leader and have continued to be so in many areas, working with kids, local politics, leading Mensa groups, starting up and running small businesses .. too bad it was too late in my life to find out I also have ADDHD or I might have done more. I do have a lot of common sense and have never been considered nerdy. In fact a lot of Mensa men found me sexy and attractive ... and there were many people in my Mensa groups who were awesome and would put you "wannabes" to shape.
Wtf does having add or adhd mean lol? From my persective it's not really possible to be hyper anything without being gifted. So do i. Stopped taking Adderall the dependancy made me dumber.
It does require intelligence. You have to note that there's a difference between knowing an answer to a question and figuring out the answer to a question. It's estimated that the average person knows about 15,000 words (Source: World Wide Words). Being able to recall any one of those words based on the criteria that it contains all the vowels is a feat of pure intelligence. "An 8-letter word with only one vowel"; it would be intelligence used to recall this very common word everyone knows.
@Reid James It may be a question limited by knowledge, but the filtering and recalling of the word is a measure of intelligence. In short, you're unlikely to get a false positive for high intelligence from such a question (provided it's a novel question), but you may get a false negative for high intelligence if the base knowledge isn't there.
@Utuber144 ... you said that you are black and in mensa.. I think i might try. I've taken a couple of test to get into gifted in grade school and I've had to take an "IQ" test for my ADD ... and I've scored in the 135 range for gifted but for the ADD it wasn't a traditional IQ test. How is life in mensa as a black mensan. I'm more than sure my aptitude has risen since taking the IQ test in grade school and it seems as if portions of the test are aptitude based. I know i can get a 140 ish
I did the mensa online free iq test and the mensa iq test that took 15 mins you know the one with the numbers underneath in black telling you how many you do as you do it?, a couple of hours later today They set up my profile and id and emailed me my info to be able to log in, is that noemal? or does that mean I managed to get a membership if I whanted to?
Some of these people seem very interesting and would be nice to make friends with. It's just that many have arrogance and seem to think their type of intelligence triumphs all and the rest of the people don't measure up in any way. I couldn't stand that lady who said a 20 score difference won't connect, as if that's the only basis for attraction. Some lower scorers have wisdom and a lot of book smarts. This kind of isolation, instead of enriching the people around them in the 'real world',
I have a 145 iq and have been to places similar to this, but trying to converse with people like this, especially when they're surrounded by people with the same idiosyncrasies can be extremely exhausting and can leave you in a bad mood lol.
I’ve popped in an out of Mensa over the past 40 years or so, sometimes paying my dues, sometimes not. The Mensa Bulletin usually has some interesting articles. The SIGHT group can be very helpful to travelers. Most non-members object in principle to the existence of an exclusive, I.Q.-based group. They don’t want to hear about the benefits of Mensa membership or that many members are productive citizens and occasionally highly accomplished professionals.
With regard to religion, race, or income, literally never been asked by (official) Mensa, so providing details might be hard. All that Mensa really cares about is if you scored in the top 2% of a test. Other than the limitations of what the tests generally asses (prediction of patterns etc), if you don't think about what you are doing, then you will, occasionally, do (very) dumb things, no matter what your IQ. Keep your expectations low.
You can take the Titan test at your house, you just need to print out the answer sheet, and mail it in when completed. Simply google "Titan Test", and it should be the first result. The only problem with this test is that it may only be graded once per person (and it is untimed), so take your time, and good luck!
I think MENSANs would agree with me MENSA should ALSO host events that are open to not only MENSANS, but also Non-MENSANs who are invited in by producing some unique original project, essay, or very hearty emotional expression that is sincere and time-consuming, in return they get to mingle non-distinguished from MENSANs. This would be a sweet gesture and it would not at all destroy the exclusive cohesion this group shares. I suggest this because there’s other forms of enrichment that may not show in the IQ and can benefit MENSANs all around.
I completely disagree with this. For people who have IQs above 150, people who barely get into Mensa are the lower bound of their communication range (if they even are in their communication range). Allowing people with IQs less than 132 would create less of an incentive for the ultra highIQ people to join, which is a b8g deal because there aren't many ultra high iqnsocieties out there.
@@sebastianw.6637there might be a bit too much fixation on the number alone, here. Richard Feynman was tested as having an IQ of 124 in high school, yet he is one of the most accomplished physicists of the 20th century. He may have had an astonishingly high “quantitative IQ”, but maybe his verbal intelligence was lacking, for example. Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers describes how often, Nobel Prize winners come from the 115-130 IQ range. Do you think that Mensans would be happy to let Feynman or other Nobel Prize winners with IQ < 132 into Mensa if they wanted to get in despite their IQ technically being lower than 132? I would bet, yes. Perhaps an individual who is especially well-educated and/or especially good at a certain component of IQ, such as verbal or math, can hold a conversation with a 150+ IQ individual that is stimulating for both of them, no problem. Maybe I’m just writing this as a cope because I think my IQ is right around the 132 range based on the SAT score that I got with almost zero studying but I’m afraid that if I actually take an IQ test, it’ll come out as 130 and then I won’t be let into Mensa. But should I even want to get into Mensa?
But they don’t fit in. Arn’t generally accepted. Hence the need for a club. I mean, I have AS. IQ of 133. Dating for example…It’s hard to find somebody who’s the same species. 🤣 I don’t care how smart somebody is, only that they use what they have. So Mensa is appealing to me because those people seem highly relatable. People have all kinds of reasons for wanting to join. If I get in it’ll be more or less all I have. Very little family, all of my friends are gone. I wouldn’t consider myself all that smart, if me and you did some maths you’d win I guarantee! But I just don’t fit into society very well what with the autism and all.
I like poking fun out of these high IQ people. I find it hilarious that some people consider them "genius". Maybe at certain things they are but they are far from being well rounded in all aspects of life. Just look how they fail to keep their most prized possession, their body, in shape. There's so much smug going on too, it's kind of disgusting( 2:31 ).
I doubt any of them are "geniuses". The mensa test is not a real iq test. One of the guys in the video (you can see his name tag), dr Ronald Allan Charles, went to a university with an acceptance rate of 81%.
@@filip9220 to be fair, depending on the university, its acceptance rate may not be a good indicator of quality of education. For example the uni im going to has very low application numbers so its around 90%, however graduation rate says it all. 37% hahahahahahaha. Its funny when people realize school isnt just for parties and drinking.
@@filip9220 Yep that is true, everyone that goes is local and wants to treat it like part 2 of high school. Luckily the engineering school is really, really great and underrated and thats why im going.
lorilemonade EQ is a quality that can be equally as important or more when it comes to being successful. The proctor for my test looked and smelled like a homeless dude.
lorilemonade I think the geniuses drawn to this group lack common sense or ability to make friends. The ones who don’t need help making friends, don’t need Mensa. So that’s not a fair statement.
Lol, when he said the only convention people go to where there aren't anyone looking for sex I heard "Unix" convention and laughed before realizing it was probably "eunuch" he said...
The description: "Thousands of the planets brightest minds...souls". Well I guess the uploader clearly doesn't qualify for Mensa judging by the word "planets".
I never fit in as a kid, and one night I saw an interview with an M on TV, and wondered if that was my problem. So I took the test, scored in the 99th percentile, and decided to join the Columbus OH group, where I was attending a university. I seemed to fit in better with them than with "normies".
Ugh. Let's hope, for the sake of humanity, that "Mensans" are only the more pretentious sub-set of the high G population. In terms of our future, hopefully somebody a bit more _terra-firma_ is out there minding the store.
You can't judge the intelligence of a person by their occupation. the guy sweeping the broom in McDonald's could very well be smarter than that lady. Almost certainly he's deeper.
+Gandachu It depends on what scale your I.Q. was measured on. Mensa Illegibility level is for 130 I.Q. and above on the Wechsler Scale, - Standard Deviation 15 132 I.Q. and above on the Stanford-Binet Scale - Standard Deviation 16 and 148 I.Q. and above on the Cattell Scale - Stanford Deviation 24 Some internet tests are very unrealistic and often greatly enhance the I.Q. score giving a false I.Q. Cheers - Mike
+James Taylor No! 'SORRY' James! They're all deemed by psychologists as unreliable and inaccurate! Even the Mensa exam is unreliable against having an I.Q. tested by a psychologist and even that is not a reliable I.Q. test! As a general rule of thumb though, if you can remember 8 numbers or more having looked at them for 30 seconds then it is probable you have a high I.Q. 6 memorized numbers is average intelligence. Thanks for contacting me, James! Cheers - Mike
Actually, eunuchs have been traditionally known for their sexual proclivities. "Come ye, buggers and eunuchs!" --"The Satyricon," by Petronius. Sexuality is primarily a mental, rather than physical, thing. The difference with eunuchs, of course, is they're "shooting blanks."
I'm sorry, I like to consider myself somewhere in between a "party girl" and a "smarty" when I was younger I was more interested in scholastic things so I know what being a smart kid is like. It is not acceptable that those kids are treated as different. They are great. The kind of kids I would have been friends with in school.
What do you major in? Who are you talking to on a daily basis? The average physics major has an IQ of about 132. It's not uncommon to have 1-2/3 the class have IQs of around 145, especially in honors programs.
If the existence of a club of intelligent people causes a loss in one's motivation, I assure you that if the club didn't exist, there would have been another excuse for the individual's lack of motivation.
@BergamoFirenzeSGV That is nice to hear. Stop worrying about being labeled weird. Be yourself because being intelligent is a wonderful thing. You can change the world and help people. Don't be affraid to be yourself. And by the way I have Aspergers Syndrome, I am considered very intelligent by most people who know me. Mensa sounds cool!!
So they didn't "think" to verify with Guinness records keepers before they exercised a record breaking attempt. Might have been fun, but a waste of precious time...
@@MrSille332 Yes is still could be, depending on the test. Don't you know most people tend to score really high on one type of iq test and average on others.
If you are wanting to take an IQ test specifically made for those with high IQ's, try taking the Titan Test. This test is made to test those with ultra-high IQ's (140+), so it should fit you quite well. I, too, am floating somewhere around the 160 IQ level. The Titan test said 168 (sd 15), but I have gotten both higher and lower elsewhere.
@@danielparker1012cry about having an IQ below 132 lol. Keep trying to cope. Obviously you care since you clicked on this video and then proceeded to type “cringe” on someone’s then 11 year old comment. You, my friend, are cringe.
Yea… I suppose being a physicist at a research lab is considered "doing nothing productive." People always like to console themselves with the false premise that if someone has x positive trait going for them (that they themselves are lacking), then by their own wistful egalitarian standards, they have to be missing out on other aspects of life. This just isn't correct and is indicative of the utilization of emotion rather than logic in coming to a conclusion. This very phenomenon is an example of the reason for Mensa existing in the first place.
in my own perspective judging peoples knowledge cant be judge by your answers on a sheet of paper.. i know a lot of smart people that have an iq of 100 or 100 bellow yet theyre really successful in life.. i dont know if the fact are real but obama has an iq of 105 yet hes one of the wisest man there is
I'm probably gonna take the test sooner or later to become a Mensan as well (I received encouraging results from the online tests of the International, French, and Belgian Mensa websites). And like these people, one important reason for me to sign up is the prospect of meeting some interesting woman.
@@nicolasgoossens absolutely. I have taken the Mensa test because it was way cheaper. Also I didn't care about detailed results concerning my degree of intelligence. It's mostly mental masturbation I think (having joined Mensa 9 years ago 😂). But Mensa is a good way to meet interesting people. A number of bad apples too... It is what it is... Anyway it's possible that some people fail at the Mensa test and still are found belonging to the top 2% by a regular test. But no matter what happens: the people you meet and the moments you share are more important than the numbers written on your or their intelligence assessments.
700 hugs ... jeez them not so smart Truth is that you can't call the top 2% of the population "geniuses" (apologies for the probably very bright newscaster pretending to be more ordinary) - they are simply smarter than average. There is probably a technical definition out there, but I would say 1 out of 10,000, or 0.01% of the population, might be considered genius. That would leave the U.S. with a mere 30,000 geniuses (of any age). Adding much more to that count degrades the concept of genius.

In fact a lot of Mensa men found me sexy and attractive ... and there were many people in my Mensa groups who were awesome and would put you "wannabes" to shape.
Wtf does having add or adhd mean lol? From my persective it's not really possible to be hyper anything without being gifted. So do i. Stopped taking Adderall the dependancy made me dumber.
Weird flex but ok
So they go to Mensa to find a nerdy spouse to increase the odds of getting autistic children...
It does require intelligence. You have to note that there's a difference between knowing an answer to a question and figuring out the answer to a question. It's estimated that the average person knows about 15,000 words (Source: World Wide Words). Being able to recall any one of those words based on the criteria that it contains all the vowels is a feat of pure intelligence.
"An 8-letter word with only one vowel"; it would be intelligence used to recall this very common word everyone knows.
@Reid James It may be a question limited by knowledge, but the filtering and recalling of the word is a measure of intelligence. In short, you're unlikely to get a false positive for high intelligence from such a question (provided it's a novel question), but you may get a false negative for high intelligence if the base knowledge isn't there.
A well constructed I.Q. test contains a variety of question types. General knowledge items are mixed in with verbal and numerical questions.
The man joined Mensa for the poon tang. Boss.
Do they have any such social clubs for people with unusually low IQs? Asking for a friend.

@Utuber144 ... you said that you are black and in mensa.. I think i might try. I've taken a couple of test to get into gifted in grade school and I've had to take an "IQ" test for my ADD ... and I've scored in the 135 range for gifted but for the ADD it wasn't a traditional IQ test. How is life in mensa as a black mensan. I'm more than sure my aptitude has risen since taking the IQ test in grade school and it seems as if portions of the test are aptitude based. I know i can get a 140 ish
Are polyglots members of Mensa?
depends on if you are smart enough. being one in an indication but not always accurate.
I'm a polyglot and a Mensa member. There are several.
I did the mensa online free iq test and the mensa iq test that took 15 mins you know the one with the numbers underneath in black telling you how many you do as you do it?, a couple of hours later today They set up my profile and id and emailed me my info to be able to log in, is that noemal? or does that mean I managed to get a membership if I whanted to?

Some of these people seem very interesting and would be nice to make friends with. It's just that many have arrogance and seem to think their type of intelligence triumphs all and the rest of the people don't measure up in any way. I couldn't stand that lady who said a 20 score difference won't connect, as if that's the only basis for attraction. Some lower scorers have wisdom and a lot of book smarts. This kind of isolation, instead of enriching the people around them in the 'real world',
@Tom Koller 8 years man, that nigga prolly had a different perspective at that time
I have a 145 iq and have been to places similar to this, but trying to converse with people like this, especially when they're surrounded by people with the same idiosyncrasies can be extremely exhausting and can leave you in a bad mood lol.
I’ve popped in an out of Mensa over the past 40 years or so, sometimes paying my dues, sometimes not. The Mensa Bulletin usually has some interesting articles. The SIGHT group can be very helpful to travelers. Most non-members object in principle to the existence of an exclusive, I.Q.-based group. They don’t want to hear about the benefits of Mensa membership or that many members are productive citizens and occasionally highly accomplished professionals.
My father HRH Bhagwanji Mepa Chitroda enrolled myself from 1988 to 1997.🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
With regard to religion, race, or income, literally never been asked by (official) Mensa, so providing details might be hard. All that Mensa really cares about is if you scored in the top 2% of a test.
Other than the limitations of what the tests generally asses (prediction of patterns etc), if you don't think about what you are doing, then you will, occasionally, do (very) dumb things, no matter what your IQ. Keep your expectations low.
I just hope they're happy because I heard that a lot of intelligent people feel lonely and never understood most of the times
You can take the Titan test at your house, you just need to print out the answer sheet, and mail it in when completed. Simply google "Titan Test", and it should be the first result. The only problem with this test is that it may only be graded once per person (and it is untimed), so take your time, and good luck!
I think MENSANs would agree with me MENSA should ALSO host events that are open to not only MENSANS, but also Non-MENSANs who are invited in by producing some unique original project, essay, or very hearty emotional expression that is sincere and time-consuming, in return they get to mingle non-distinguished from MENSANs. This would be a sweet gesture and it would not at all destroy the exclusive cohesion this group shares. I suggest this because there’s other forms of enrichment that may not show in the IQ and can benefit MENSANs all around.
They do…
I completely disagree with this. For people who have IQs above 150, people who barely get into Mensa are the lower bound of their communication range (if they even are in their communication range). Allowing people with IQs less than 132 would create less of an incentive for the ultra highIQ people to join, which is a b8g deal because there aren't many ultra high iqnsocieties out there.
@@sebastianw.6637there might be a bit too much fixation on the number alone, here. Richard Feynman was tested as having an IQ of 124 in high school, yet he is one of the most accomplished physicists of the 20th century. He may have had an astonishingly high “quantitative IQ”, but maybe his verbal intelligence was lacking, for example. Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers describes how often, Nobel Prize winners come from the 115-130 IQ range. Do you think that Mensans would be happy to let Feynman or other Nobel Prize winners with IQ < 132 into Mensa if they wanted to get in despite their IQ technically being lower than 132? I would bet, yes. Perhaps an individual who is especially well-educated and/or especially good at a certain component of IQ, such as verbal or math, can hold a conversation with a 150+ IQ individual that is stimulating for both of them, no problem. Maybe I’m just writing this as a cope because I think my IQ is right around the 132 range based on the SAT score that I got with almost zero studying but I’m afraid that if I actually take an IQ test, it’ll come out as 130 and then I won’t be let into Mensa. But should I even want to get into Mensa?
Smart people are not concerned with their iq.
But they don’t fit in. Arn’t generally accepted. Hence the need for a club. I mean, I have AS. IQ of 133. Dating for example…It’s hard to find somebody who’s the same species. 🤣 I don’t care how smart somebody is, only that they use what they have. So Mensa is appealing to me because those people seem highly relatable. People have all kinds of reasons for wanting to join. If I get in it’ll be more or less all I have. Very little family, all of my friends are gone. I wouldn’t consider myself all that smart, if me and you did some maths you’d win I guarantee! But I just don’t fit into society very well what with the autism and all.
I have a 400 iq, I'm in super mensa!
I like poking fun out of these high IQ people. I find it hilarious that some people consider them "genius". Maybe at certain things they are but they are far from being well rounded in all aspects of life. Just look how they fail to keep their most prized possession, their body, in shape. There's so much smug going on too, it's kind of disgusting( 2:31 ).
I doubt any of them are "geniuses". The mensa test is not a real iq test. One of the guys in the video (you can see his name tag), dr Ronald Allan Charles, went to a university with an acceptance rate of 81%.
@@filip9220 to be fair, depending on the university, its acceptance rate may not be a good indicator of quality of education. For example the uni im going to has very low application numbers so its around 90%, however graduation rate says it all. 37% hahahahahahaha. Its funny when people realize school isnt just for parties and drinking.
@@nickdavis965 37% graduation rate because your school accepts a bunch of scrubs.

lorilemonade EQ is a quality that can be equally as important or more when it comes to being successful. The proctor for my test looked and smelled like a homeless dude.
Where do you get that notion from? Sounds like a stereotype.
lorilemonade I think the geniuses drawn to this group lack common sense or ability to make friends. The ones who don’t need help making friends, don’t need Mensa. So that’s not a fair statement.

I never fit in as a kid, and one night I saw an interview with an M on TV, and wondered if that was my problem. So I took the test, scored in the 99th percentile, and decided to join the Columbus OH group, where I was attending a university. I seemed to fit in better with them than with "normies".

So I have an IQ of 145, do I qualify for Mensa?
Gandachu yes you do go and join find i fuck body

It depends on what scale your I.Q. was measured on.
Mensa Illegibility level is for 130 I.Q. and above on the Wechsler Scale, - Standard Deviation 15
132 I.Q. and above on the Stanford-Binet Scale - Standard Deviation 16
and 148 I.Q. and above on the Cattell Scale - Stanford Deviation 24
Some internet tests are very unrealistic and often greatly enhance the I.Q. score giving a false I.Q.
Cheers - Mike
+Mike Fuller Do you know of any decent internet tests which can be used as a preliminary measure?
+James Taylor
No! 'SORRY' James! They're all deemed by psychologists as unreliable and inaccurate! Even the Mensa exam is unreliable against having an I.Q. tested by a psychologist and even that is not a reliable I.Q. test! As a general rule of thumb though, if you can remember 8 numbers or more having looked at them for 30 seconds then it is probable you have a high I.Q. 6 memorized numbers is average intelligence.
Thanks for contacting me, James!
Cheers - Mike
Mike Fuller Thanks, Mike. I appreciate your reply!
Actually, eunuchs have been traditionally known for their sexual proclivities. "Come ye, buggers and eunuchs!" --"The Satyricon," by Petronius. Sexuality is primarily a mental, rather than physical, thing. The difference with eunuchs, of course, is they're "shooting blanks."
This may be the first intelligent comment I've seen. But if what you said is true ud have to agree sexuality is a devolved state. Almost a choice
I'm sorry, I like to consider myself somewhere in between a "party girl" and a "smarty" when I was younger I was more interested in scholastic things so I know what being a smart kid is like. It is not acceptable that those kids are treated as different. They are great. The kind of kids I would have been friends with in school.
I tested at 134 and 136, but I don’t feel very smart.
What do you major in? Who are you talking to on a daily basis?
The average physics major has an IQ of about 132. It's not uncommon to have 1-2/3 the class have IQs of around 145, especially in honors programs.
What is this, the fuckin Rick and Morty fan club?
The reason they didn't answer those questions is cause there not smart questions

If the existence of a club of intelligent people causes a loss in one's motivation, I assure you that if the club didn't exist, there would have been another excuse for the individual's lack of motivation.

@@Art1cM0k3yz thats true but the mensa test is said to be acurate. Not Some facebook iq test.
@@MrSille332 mensa test is a mostly verbal IQ test not spatial.
If you are wanting to take an IQ test specifically made for those with high IQ's, try taking the Titan Test. This test is made to test those with ultra-high IQ's (140+), so it should fit you quite well.
I, too, am floating somewhere around the 160 IQ level. The Titan test said 168 (sd 15), but I have gotten both higher and lower elsewhere.

hmmm... they are smart people yet they're doing nothing productive to help our world.
Yea… I suppose being a physicist at a research lab is considered "doing nothing productive." People always like to console themselves with the false premise that if someone has x positive trait going for them (that they themselves are lacking), then by their own wistful egalitarian standards, they have to be missing out on other aspects of life. This just isn't correct and is indicative of the utilization of emotion rather than logic in coming to a conclusion. This very phenomenon is an example of the reason for Mensa existing in the first place.
Nice, you opened my eyes. I will take your words as a new lesson. Continue helping our world.

I'm probably gonna take the test sooner or later to become a Mensan as well (I received encouraging results from the online tests of the International, French, and Belgian Mensa websites). And like these people, one important reason for me to sign up is the prospect of meeting some interesting woman.
All the women there were fat
Did you take the test, and were you able to join Mensa (in Belgium or France)?
@@nicolasgoossens absolutely. I have taken the Mensa test because it was way cheaper. Also I didn't care about detailed results concerning my degree of intelligence. It's mostly mental masturbation I think (having joined Mensa 9 years ago 😂). But Mensa is a good way to meet interesting people. A number of bad apples too... It is what it is... Anyway it's possible that some people fail at the Mensa test and still are found belonging to the top 2% by a regular test.
But no matter what happens: the people you meet and the moments you share are more important than the numbers written on your or their intelligence assessments.

Truth is that you can't call the top 2% of the population "geniuses" (apologies for the probably very bright newscaster pretending to be more ordinary) - they are simply smarter than average. There is probably a technical definition out there, but I would say 1 out of 10,000, or 0.01% of the population, might be considered genius. That would leave the U.S. with a mere 30,000 geniuses (of any age). Adding much more to that count degrades the concept of genius.
